WherEmEweeD Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I took all my electrics off the bike to do maintenance and cleaning and now everything is back together. The headlight and sidelight is not working. Everything else works fine. The battery for the bike doesn't charge but it will charge enough to run full power for 20 mins or so could this be the reason the head light/side light aren't powering up. I don't think it is wiring problem. More than likely the bulbs are gone could i test by using rear bulb for headlight i'm guessing its a bad idea but let me know. Cheers for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WherEmEweeD Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 *Update Replaced old headlight and sidelight bulbs with new ones still no power going to them. I would test with multimeter but i do not have one atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Check all the connections, I know it's a ball ache to get to the headlight but its probably a wire that has disconnected. My XT did exactly the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WherEmEweeD Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ohh aye its mad trying to get into the headlight i must had the fairing off about five times now i could easily do it blind folded. Just checked with the multimeter on all connections looks like a wiring fault will probably just take it down to garage tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Try to figure it out first, you'll save a lot of money. At least have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beef Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 sounds like a bad connection. go over what you have done from the light back. could be a bad earth, will take time and if you do take it to the garage it could well be an expensive trip.

WherEmEweeD Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I hate expensive trips! I will give a more thorough round with the multimeter tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
